What a way to get to a century. I love the way Raina plays that stroke. Fantastic innings. Was a tad scratchy at the start, and was lucky to get away with getting dropped off a no-ball, but he accelerated brilliantly and has got his side upto a very competitive total. Great knock.

Superb innings by Raina. No amount of praise is less for that knock. One thing I would like to see is that he doesn't play too many loose shots early on in his inning as once he settles down, he is pretty lethal

I kind of like the team's composition. For Ind to do well, one or two of the top 5 will have to fire more often than not. So if they do you need depth in bowling to defend the score and even if they don't and we scratch around to 140-150, we still need depth in bowling to protect the score
